I don't see the problem here. She is fined for possession and usage of an illegal weapon, not for defending herself. I'm pretty sure if she asks for some public donations she can easily raise the sum of the fine.

 

The problem is that it is illegal in the first place. Self preservation and having the means to properly do so is a human right. 

This is what the progressives in America want, this type of Utopia. Thank God for the media willing to report items like this so state side we have a chance to stop it. 

Yeah because Denmark has such a high and out of control crime rate and the USA doesn't. Your system is working so damned well.

One of the problems with casual ownership of weapons is that if you are the physically weaker person in an encounter then there's a good chance the weapon will be taken off you and used on you. Basically if you want to be competent in self defence you have to train and prepare. And if you do that you are probably better off training and preparing for unarmed self defence, because that way you are always able to defend yourself even if you are caught naked in the shower.
